lyrics

I was workin’ hard, thirsty as hell
When I saw the Gardner well
An eerie glow lit up the way
What colour it was, I couldn’t say
Everybody told me not to drink
But I took a big gulp before you could blink

CHORUS:
It ain’t gonna happen again
No, it ain’t gonna happen again
I know I did it just last night
But it ain’t gonna happen again
No, it ain’t gonna happen again

Heard this fiddle playin’ hot
Man, that jam really hit the spot
Asked who is that boppin’ man
Landlady said, that’s Erich Zann
Everybody told me, don’t join in
But I played them licks on my violin

CHORUS

Some folks say I’m foolhardy
Some folks say I’m dumb
But when I spy an adventure, buddy
Watch out, here I come!

Down at the university
There’s a big book I had to see
With evil spells and what is worse
The keys to another universe
Everybody said, don’t do it, son
But I checked out the Necronomicon

CHORUS

Herbie West said, hey, let’s try
To reanimate this guy
One big jab of magic juice
Hold him down, don’t let him loose
Everybody told me, don’t play God
But we lit him up like a lightning rod

CHORUS

I’ve been getting in trouble
But now I’m mendin’ my ways
If it’s risky, I bet double
But man it never pays!

To Antarctica I went
Had a little accident
I found a tunnel in the ice
Walked right in without thinkin’ twice
Everybody told me, no no no
But I went down where them shoggoths go

CHORUS
